Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Americans recently celebrated the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act -- former President Barack Obama's landmark healthcare reform legislation known as "Obamacare" -- being signed into law.
50% : Vox's Ian Millhiser reported that the case Kennedy v. Braidwood Management, Inc. could yield a surprising result in that two conservative members of the High Court may join the three liberal justices in upholding a key portion of the Affordable Care Act according to oral arguments held Monday.
43% : "All three of the Court's Democrats appeared all but certain to uphold the PSTF, so that means there may be at least five votes to preserve health insurers' obligations under Obamacare," Millhiser wrote.
37% : According to Millhiser, Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh -- who Trump appointed in 2020 and 2018, respectively -- have indicated a willingness to back a requirement that health insurance companies cover some preventative care procedures.
